Jerry Sloan

Nicknamed "The Original Bull," Sloan was in Chicago during the franchise's first 10 seasons. His grit and toughness made him one of the league's best defensive players and he is one of only 18 players in history to be named to the NBA's all-defensive first team four times. He averaged 14 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists during his 11 seasons. Sloan is now one of the league's most respected coaches, having led the Utah Jazz to two NBA Finalsboth lost in six games to the Bulls.
